Spider ID please? (Hafren Forest, Powys) (1 Viewer)

[DoghouseRiley]

Hi All

Whilst away I took a few snaps , one of which was this small spider. I would guess the body is no
more than 5-7mm in length.

The habitat is mainly coniferous plantation but there were some large decidous trees nearby.
Damp (in summer), limited undergrowth. Reasonably mountainous area.

Could someone ID please?

Yours, Gareth

Is it Microlinyphia pusilla? Seems to look like some of the photos I have seen.

Possibly Neriene peltata .

Possibly Neriene peltata .

I think this is the most likely if it was from the UK

Thanks creaturesnapper & Salticus.

Weirdly, searching around I have found similar pictures labelled Neriene peltata, Microlinyphia pusilla and a number of Linyfiidae spiders.
Neriene peltatadoes seem the likely candidate though.

Thanks again. G
